Abstract: A method for controlling a graphics design application executing on a computing device is disclosed. A user interface touch sensor is configured to be responsive to at least one angle of contact with at least one finger. A change in an angle of the finger with respect to the surface of the touch sensor is measured by the touch sensor to produce measured data. Real-time calculations on the measured data are performed to produce a measured-angle value. The measured-angle value is used to control the value of at least one user interface parameter of the graphics design application. At least one aspect of the graphics design application changes in response to the angle of the position of the finger with respect to the surface of the touch sensor.

Abstract: High Dimensional Touchpad (HDTP) or other user interface technology implemented in touch screens used on computers, smartphones, or other mobile devices provides advanced touch control of a variety of interactive map applications using one or more of a user's finger position or movement in one or more of the roll angle, pitch angle, yaw angle, and downward pressure directions. Implementations also can be responsive to a user's finger position or movement in the left-right and forward-backward directions. Implementations can also use HDTP or other user interface technology implemented on the back of a mouse. Also, the interactive map imaging application may use a connection over the internet or other network.

Abstract: The invention provides interactive adjustment of plot and data visualization through clicks, rollovers, menus, and other familiar types of rapid user-machine interaction. In an implementation, such interactive adjustments also modify associated software code used to generate the underlying plot or data visualization. In some implementations this feature may be always active. In other embodiments, this feature can be enabled, disabled, overridden, precluded, etc. The invention supports simple mice and their equivalents, advanced mice, gesture-based touch interfaces advanced High-Dimensional Touch Pads and associated touch screens, game controllers, 6D-mice, and extended hyperlink objects. The invention can be implemented in the context of web browsers and spreadsheets, and can be used for Business intelligence, simple plots, and a wide range of data visualization applications.
